 I say this and get booed lol

I'm sure you know, but maybe the solution isn't even account but topic and feeds (better feeds, feeds that work lol.)

Bluesky has done really well with their feeds.

Feeds make even more sense maybe on nostr. With the bircointourettes issues lol. Cos I may not want to follow someone entirely, but I think when they post about eg movies, or gardening, I want to see it. And not so much when they post about baseball or talk about the price of bitcoin.

I don't mean to be mean here lol. 
 I'd say it's really a mix. 

It's the people that deliver the topical content the user is looking for. They want their trusted journos, their topic insiders or deep thinkers, their beehive of cyber hornets to interact with, etc. 

Right now, Bitcoin, Nostr and a handful of other topics have this. Most other topics do not. 
 Someone can't develop a better feed unless he knows what "better" might look like, to someone who isn't like himself. 
 I think by 'better' I meant a mixture of more variety of topics, a better functioning, less slow to load.

Are DVMs feeds? I don't even know. They can take absolutely ages to load tho. 
 Yeah DVMs need to be much faster with better ux.  
 I'd consider DVM's a feed. without a funding source though it will always be slow.

Sadly, the world is addicted to the word "free", and it hurts adoption.
